Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery

An academic Library identifies, evaluates, procures, and makes resources available to its faculty and students (users) for their teaching, learning, and research requirements. Very few libraries can hold every journal, book, or research paper required to meet the needs of their users, and Inter-Library Loans are the best way to meet the requirements of permissible laws. Interlibrary Loans (ILL) is a practice between participating libraries that establish agreements with one another to share materials to enhance their collections. This comprehensive book includes an introduction to ILL operations, governing policies, up-to-date information on borrowing and lending, and considerations for libraries.
